ak482... you've many years ahead of you to find success and accomplishment in your professional and personal life. In fact, I bet if you look closely, you already achieved some success in those areas, in some way. We age. We grow. In our mind, bodies, hearts, souls, emotions and senses.
Heck, April is a month away, still. A lot can happen in a month, too.
I admit, though, I can certainly relate... except... I'll be turning 53 on my next birthday, which is tomorrow. It's been so long since the mere prospect of romance, sex or emotional intimacy has touched my life that I fear my time is running out, or, perhaps never meant to be, for me there Unfortunately, I hit late 40's rearing to f*#!king go... if you know what I mean. I am single, alone and at times, achingly lonely... and sometimes, when I feel like crap, I look at my birthday as one year closer to my death... and that helps... often to bring me out of my funk.
Tomorrow I shall now dwell on what isn't in my life, however. I shall focus on what I am grateful to have in my life. I shall try my best not to think about the number 53! (no way in hell I am 53 years old, yet... nuh-uh. when did THAT happen? )
Tomorrow, I am volunteering at an all day and evening event for a local non profit organization... serving twofold: to help officially at the event, and to keep my mind occupied so it doesn't play the various "another-year-older" loops over and over and over all day.
I'm thinking I might have fun, maybe... Wait. My birthday. I can have fun if I want to. Sorry... rambling now...
Hugs to you two! And be nice to yourselves on your birthdays, ya hear!?
